Artie Howell knows her fellow Home-makers will always be there for her. She just over came lung cancer and was completing radiation for throat cancer. Once she got the news that everything was clear, she couldn’t wait to greet all of them and show her appreciation for their support.

She brought along a quilt, which was a gift from the Bluegrass Homemakers and the Payneville Sewing Club. In the quilt, each stitching represented a prayer that someone made for Howell to get better.

“(The quilt) gave me chills and tears of joy,” Howell said. “I cry every time I think about it because prayer is the strongest medicine there is.”

Now, Howell uses that quilt to recline

in her favorite chair at home.Howell, along with a hand full of

Homemakers, met Friday, July 5 for the Homemakers Council to discuss busi-ness and talk about some of their upcoming events.

In August, Meade County Exten-sion Homemakers will hold “A Taste of Meade County.” The event will be held Thursday, August 12 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the extension pavilion and will feature fresh local produce and recipes.

According to Jennifer Bridge, county extension agent for family and consumer sciences, the Homemakers have held this event for four years. In the past it has featured recipes from fellow Homemak-ers, but this year they decided to feature Kentucky made products, this the name “A Taste of Meade County.”

“It’s an educational way for consum-

ers to realize what’s local,” she said. Bridge, along with other extension

agents, have been working with the “Plate It Up Kentucky Proud” program with the Kentucky Department of Agri-culture, to develop some recipes to fea-ture in “A taste of Meade County.”

The group created recipes and once they were fi nished, the fi nal product was modifi ed by University of Kentucky hu-man nutrition students to make the food healthier, Bridge said.

There was a blind taste test to see which one she would prefer, and Bridge said she chose the modifi ed ones as com-pared to the original recipes.

Some of the fi nal products chosen for the event include blackberry peach crumble, Brussels sprouts with ham,

It’s a place that may be taken for granted, but cer-tainly not ignored.

The Meade County Public Library has grown to be the central zone of information and community gathering.

Nowhere else can some-one take advantage of books, Internet, DVDs, and hundreds of special events all for free.

During the last year, the library has received more than 125,000 visits — al-most six times the size of the county’s population.

That’s one of the reasons the library plans a major move next year to a new facility on Old Ekron Road tripling its size. Bids for construction will be opened next week and the hopes are groundbreaking will happen before the end ofsummer.

Despite the hindering size of the current 100-year-old building, the library is con-tinuously developing pro-grams proving to be quite popular in the area.

For children alone, the library has offered more than 350 different programs since January with total at-tendance of 11,543.

The library does this de-spite operating on a budget lower than the average Ken-tucky public library.

“Everyone here is very thrifty and very creative,” Library Director Rachel Baelz said. “Most of our funding goes for program-ming, that’s what we focus on.”

According to Program-ming and Children’s Servic-es Director Megan Stith, the community has also been helpful pitching in materi-als that can be used.

“If I can’t come up with what we need, somebody

usually can,” Stith said.Encouraging young chil-

dren to read has become a primary focus for thelibrary.

The summer reading pro-gram this year has hosted 47 different programs with 1,570 attending.

One of the most popular events for children is the story hour held Mondays and Tuesdays. Since April of last year, over 2,000 chil-dren have participated in

the program.The library has also add-

ed an evening story time once a month.

There are also programs and events for teens and adults including video game tournaments, family movie night, back to school help and yoga.

“Yoga has been unbeliev-ably popular,” Baelz said.

The library also sponsors

What happens in Vegas, doesn’t al-ways stay in Vegas.

For Candice Cruz, this saying holds true as her recent trip to the Nevada desert brought back some major roy-alty to the state and county after she was crowned Miss Teen United States 2010 last Friday.

“I’m still in shock to be honest,” she said. “I still can’t believe it.”

Cruz, a sophomore at the Univer-sity of Kentucky and a 2009 Meade County graduate, began her journey to Miss Teen United States after she was crowned Miss Teen Kentucky in February.

Her trip brought home more than just pretty dresses and makeup; Cruz made some special connections that will last a lifetime.

“There were so many beautiful girls out there,” she said. “I truly met some of my friends I will have for a very long time … it just meant the world to me.”

Prior to the pageant, Cruz already had her emotions in the right place.

“You have to go in with the mental-ity that you’re going to win,” she said. “But you also have to go in with the mentality of how you’re going to be a good sport if you don’t … because you have to have both.”

At the beginning of the pageant, there was an orientation so the girls could get to know each other. During one particular gathering, all the con-testants had to compete in a bowling games with their gowns on.

“You wore a dress that you didn’t mind getting messed up,” Cruz said. “I got a 123. I was all excited.”

In fact, Cruz wore a black dress she wore to New York when she was 14 years old.

On Wednesday, the contestants had to have an interview with the judges were they asked questions about Cruz’s platform: The Dove Campaign and other questions such as ‘What would you do if you saw someone cheating?’ or ‘What color crayon would you be

Brandenburg Planning and Zoning held a public hearing last Thursday to discuss a motion to change a seven-acre property on Old Ekron Road from an R1 zone to an R2 zone.

The property belongs to Rena Singleton, who was not present at the hearing.

According to Lee Klockow, planning and zoning administrator, the difference is that R1 can only have single-family residents on a large lot and R2 can have either single or two family homes on a smaller lot.

“It depends on the size of the lot and what can go into it,” Klockow said.

Six people attended the hearing with

homes,” Beshear said in the release. “These resources will help protect Kentuck-ians during these danger-ous temperatures.”

The funding, which will be managed by the Cabinet for Health and Family Ser-vices, is available to help low-income families and the elderly offset the impact of surging energy costs.

LIHEAP, which is a fed-erally funded block grant

program, imparts states with funding earmarked for home energy assistance programs, according to the release.

The funding may also be used by the elderly, dis-abled or households with children younger than 6 years old to buy air con-ditioners and fans, the re-lease added.

LIHEAP services are provided by 23 Commu-nity Action Agencies.

some sharing their dismay over the possible rezoning.

One property owner sent a letter to the council speak-ing about how her family is against the possible change.

In the letter, Emily Jensen wrote, “We are fi rmly against it. It lowers the value of the property. We welcome the idea of a small neighborhood of houses (however, the) pro-posed zoning would happen in our backyard. Building du-plexes seems unnecessary.”

Tim Smith, of Smith Engi-neering, has done some sur-veying work on the property and has worked with Single-ton and spoke on her behalf.

“Rena wants to build single family home rental property,” he said. “She just wants to build them on 80 foot lots. Six-ty-foot lots are too low to go.”

Instead of making the property zoned single-family

residence, Solid Waste Coor-dinator, Mark Gossett, said he would rather see the rezoning create a low-density subdivi-sion.

“I’m defi nitely against (the rezoning),” Gossett said. “I just don’t see the need to change it from R1 to R2.”

Once the public hearing was complete, the council moved to start the meeting to vote on the possible rezoning.

“It’s hard to make a deci-sion when three out of seven are opposing, plus a letter,” said council member Bobby Skaggs.

The council agreed that they didn’t want to make a decision until they heard from Singleton.

“(We) have to conduct a minimum of one public hear-ing,” Klockow said. “What I’m hearing is to have another public hearing and ask Rena to be here.”

The council unanimously approved to table the rezon-ing motion until the next pub-lic hearing July 21.

Even through high winds and power outages, dozens of people gathered in the Farm Bureau building to watch eight young women vie for the title of Miss Meade Coun-ty 2010.

The pageant began with a dance routine to “California Girls,” by Katy Perry, which was led by Miss Meade Coun-ty 2009 Elizabeth Madison. Donning pink shirts, each girl threw a beach ball out into the crowd.

The event was divided into three portions: casual wear, swimsuit and evening gown.

As each girl entered the stage, Stan Heslep read their bios, which included their hobbies, where they’re at-tending school and what they hope to accomplish in their future.

Throughout the evening, people were able to submit a vote for the people’s choice award. Each vote was repre-sented by a quarter and who-ever had the most votes by the end of the night won.

Miss Teen United States and Meade County native Candice Cruz was on hand to lend her support to the girls.

At the end of the night, Cin-dy Padgett was crowned Miss

Meade County 2010. Other awards for the event

include Miss Congeniality – Cindy Padgett; fi rst runner up Joy Straney; second runner up Alexa Adams; third runner up Meagan Skaggs and people’s choice Paris Morgan.

blackberry lemon upside down cake, cucumber corn and bean salsa and an easy cheesy eggplant dish.

“I think (the event) is go-ing to be good,” said Annette Hornsby, president of the Garrett Homemakers and a member of the planning com-mittee.

“It’s an opportunity to taste all these good dishes and some brand new recipes that

haven’t been out in the com-munity.”

The event is open to the public. Tickets for the event cost $4 or $5 at the door.

In other business, the Home-makers will hold a Christmas Bazaar November 13.

“Everything has to be homemade,” Hornsby said. “Each club has a table and we try to offer things that people could use for Christmas.”

The Homemakers will also sponsor a scarecrow and pumpkin-decorating contest during the River Heritage Days August 25.

Coal issues are usually something that are wran-gled within Eastern Ken-tucky, but a new proposal by the Louisville Gas and Electric company quite possibly could bring the coal debate much closer to Meade County.

Last week, LG&E pro-posed building a new coal combustion waste dump at its Cane Run facility in Western Louisville.

The company reportedly asked state regulators’ per-mission to build the new dump close to the current dump, which they say is running out of room.

The EPA has already clas-sifi ed the existing contain-ment dam, just 30 miles from Brandenburg, as “high hazard”.

The classifi cation was rebuffed by LG&E spokes-person Mike Winkler in an article on the WFPL Web site, saying the hazardous classifi cation could be mis-leading and has nothing to

do with the structural in-tegrity of the dam, or the likelihood it will fail.

But accidents and mis-haps do happen.

The coal waste dump is near the Ohio River, up-stream from Meade Coun-ty. An accident would fl ush toxic slurry into the Ohio River, which is the source of our water.

But toxic waste and coal slurry are nothing new for the mighty Ohio.

According to a recent study by the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission, the river is already chock full of con-taminants.

The river also leads the nation in toxic waste and cancer causing agents.

And some of those con-taminants are the result of toxic coal waste released when a coal sludge im-poundment similar to the one proposed by LG&E burst in Martin County, Ky., releasing an estimated 306 million gallons of virulent coal sludge into rivers and tributaries, including the Ohio River.

The backlash from extrac-tive industries comes with more than one price — not

just monetary, but the loss of life and livelihood.

Of course there is the widely publicized BP oil spill, caused by a mis-hap which killed 11 oil rig workers.

The spill has also shut down the seafood industry in the Gulf of Mexico — a mainstay of the regional economy.

The implications of the locally pertinent coal slurry impoundment issue has more affect on health.

According to a study pre-sented to the 2010 Kentucky General Assembly by Asso-ciate Director of the Center for Health and the Global Environment at Harvard Medical School Dr. Paul Epstein, M.D., M.P.H, com-munities downstream from slurry impoundments risk direct surface water-bourne exposure from spills, mud-slides and fl ooding.

Coal slurry contains at least 19 cancer-causing agents, which have been linked to cancer clusters in Eastern Kentucky caused by coal contaminants. These were also documented in the study.

Though coal is detrimen-tal to the health of many

Kentuckians, it is essentialto the state’s economy.

Eliminating coal miningcould lead to the economiccollapse of many commu-nities dependant on wagesand other economic gainsfrom coal, with no otherindustry available as analternative.

Nearly 90 percent ofKentucky is powered bycoal. Close to 50 percent ofAmerica’s electricity is gen-erated from Appalachiancoal.

This catch-22 placesKentucky in a quagmire —what’s more important, thehealth and well being ofhundreds of thousands ofpeople, or the livelihoodsof families dependant oncoal wages to survive?

One option is to fi nd anew industry other thancoal to provide jobs in an al-ready job-strapped region.

Another is to place tight-er restrictions on how thecoal slurry impoundments,such as the one proposedin western Louisville, arehandled and managed.

Companies need to behighly scrutinized andmonitored, when one mis-take can cause such dam-age to a region.

If there’s a characteristic American trait, it’s moving ahead. Our great 19th-centu-ry chronicler, Alexis de Toc-queville, noted how Ameri-cans would leave their new homes — onto the next thing — even before they had a chance to fi nish the roofs.

That’s why President Ba-rack Obama’s new theme of forward vs. backwards is so obvious, David Axelrod could have come up with it in his sleep.

Obama rolled it out at a campaign event in Missouri recently.

“It’s a choice between the policies that led us into this mess and the policies that are leading us out of this mess,” Obama said of the midterm elections. “It’s a choice be-tween falling backwards or moving forward.”

This is paint-by-the-num-bers campaigning. It’s also

ham-handed and faintly ri-diculous.

What were the policies that created this mess?

Obama assails the Bush tax cuts, although he wants to re-tain them for families making less than $250,000 a year.

In fact, Obama brags about his own prowess as a tax-cutter. “We cut taxes — didn’t raise them, we cut them — for 95 percent of working families and small-business owners,” he boasted in Missouri.

Did the Bush tax cuts fuel the defi cit? In 2007, the budget defi cit was a puny $160 bil-lion. It’s true that George W. Bush handed over a recession-bloated defi cit of more than a trillion dollars to Obama, but defi cits are better than sur-pluses in a weak economy, ac-cording to Obama’s boosters.

Obama added as much new defi cit spending as he plausibly could as quickly as possible, and still wants more now.

Maybe the lax regulation of Wall Street was blame-worthy?

The key piece of fi nancial

deregulation was negoti-ated between then-Sen. Phil Gramm and then-Treasury Secretary Larry Summers — now a key Obama offi cial — and signed by Bill Clinton in 1999.

It’s a stretch to blame this bipartisan, pre-Bush legisla-tion for the crisis, which had the housing bubble and bust at its root.

Maybe the regulators were asleep at the switch? Yes, the economy’s most im-portant regulator, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Ber-nanke, kept interest rates too low for too long. Obama has retained him as his Fed chairman.

The bubble and the peril-ous state of the banks caught Geithner, the head of the New York Fed with direct oversight of Wall Street, fl at-footed. Obama promoted him to treasury secretary.

There’s a vein of continu-ity in the bailouts and stim-uli, too. The Bush admin-istration instituted TARP and began the bailout of the car companies; the Obama

administration picked upwhere it left off.

The Bush administrationembraced tax rebates andtax credits to stimulate theeconomy; so has the Obamaadministration.

The new departure inAmerican politics is repre-sented by the tea partiers.They are hell on lawmakerswho voted for the bailouts;they consider both Bush andObama spending anathema;and they have endorsedcandidates who have saidthings about entitlements —the driver of our long-termdefi cits — that no establish-ment Republican or Demo-crat would ever dare utter.This is something truly boldand refreshing.

The president will try tobeat them back in Novem-ber. It’s a contest properlydefi ned as the status quovs. change, with Obama’sengorged federal establish-ment in the unenviable po-sition of representing theformer.

“A Good Deed”Charlie, the young boy in the movie “Willie Wonka

and the Chocolate Factory,” found himself up against a gang of greedy, self-involved kids who only wanted more and more for themselves in a contest to see who would win the factory.

Young Charlie was the last one standing.But, he had grabbed one of Wonka’s new, secret can-

dies against the rules of the contest and considered sell-ing it to Wonka’s competitor.

When Wonka found out, he gave Charlie a test never letting on he knew of the pilfered candy.

But, there was good in Charlie and as the scene ends, he reaches in his pocket and pulls out the candy and gently lays it on Wonka’s desk.

As Charlie walks away, Wonka places his hand over the candy and says, “So shines a good deed in a weary world.”

Our local area has seen one of those deeds in recent weeks.

It can be humbling to adults, who, with age tend to get more jaded, when a young boy shows what real compassion and caring for his fellow man can mean.

Colton Kelly is that young man.At the age of 9, he did what many would not do — he

got involved. And, his involvement was probably in-strumental in saving a man’s life.

Colton saw a man lying face down in a parking lot and insisted to his father they turn around to see about him.

They found 73-year-old Pat Knott disoriented with injuries to his head area and it was Colton — at age 9 — who used his father’s cell phone to call 911 emergency responders to the scene.

It’s humbling for adults to think a child had the pres-ence of mind to know what to do when he saw such a scene.

Colton’s father said, “Most kids wouldn’t have done that.”

It makes one wonder just how many adults would have done what Colton did.

The great thing about Colton’s actions is they help dispel a stereotype about young people of today.

Yes, there are more ways to get into trouble than there used to be, and unfortunately, its the trouble makers who get the most notice.

There are indeed young people constantly doing re-markable things to help those in need. Sadly, they rare-ly get the publicity they deserve.

Most young people are good, decent, and caring, having been raised that way by parents of the same character.

Even Colton’s father expressed satisfaction seeing his son do what he did noting that it showed him he was raising his kids “the right way.”

It’s a safe bet that Pat Knott feels exactly the same.So, thanks Colton. You did a good deed in a weary

world.

BBB warns of consumer ID theftThe Better Business Bu-

reau wants to remind con-sumers to keep their per-sonal information safe. BBB is hearing of several local complaints of identity theft. Over the past fi ve years, identity theft has been the number one consumer complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. ID Theft is a serious crime. It occurs when your personal infor-mation is stolen and used without your knowledge to commit fraud.

BBB wants to remind con-sumers to be cautious with their debit and credit card information when shopping or going out to eat. Although credit and debit cards are easy ways to pay for pur-chases, they have different levels of protection. Debit cards are directly linked to your bank account. They don’t offer as much protec-tion against fraudulent use. If you need to dispute a pur-chase, you are in a weaker position because the mer-chant already has the money and it will only be returned if you win the dispute. Be sure to check the policies of your card issuer.

The BBB offers these tips for consumers to protect their identities:

• Shred fi nancial docu-ments and paperwork with personal information before you discard them;

• Remember that when you use your debit card to make a purchase the funds are immediately pulled from

your account. This makes it much more diffi cult to get your money back if there is a dispute;

• Write “See ID” on the back of your Debit/Credit cards;

• Protect your social Se-curity number. Don’t Carry around your SS card in your wallet or write your SS number on a check. Only give it out if it is absolutely necessary;

• Don’t give out personal information over the phone, through the mail, or over the internet unless you know who you are dealing with.

• Never click on links in unsolicited emails; instead, type in a web address you know. Use fi rewalls, anti-spyware, and anti-virus software to protect your home computer; keep them up-to-date.

• Don’t use obvious pass-words like your birth date, mother’s maiden name, or the last four digits of your social Security number;

•Keep your personal in-formation in a secure place at home, especially if you have roommates, employ outside help, or are having work done in your house.

Be sure to review your fi nancial statements on a regular basis.

You should also check your credit report for any-thing that looks suspicious. You can get your report, for free, at www.AnnualCred-itReport.com or call 877-322-8228.

If yellow roses grow in Heaven, Lord pick a bunch for me, place them in my BROTHER’s arms and tell him they are from me. Tell him that I love and miss him, and when he turns to smile, place a kiss upon his cheek and hold him for a while. Because remembering him is easy I do it everyday,

there’s an ache within my heart thatwill NEVER go away.

Miss you, Love you, Always and Forever,Tanya, Mom and Dad

Focus on early childhood is key to intellectual progress

QUESTION: We have a one-year-old daughter and we want to raise her right. I’ve heard that parents can increase the mental abili-ties of their children if they stimulate them properly during the early years. Is this accurate, and if so, how can I accomplish this with my baby?

DR. DOBSON: Research has shown that parents can, indeed, increase the intel-lectual capability of their children.

This conclusion was fi rst reached through the re-nowned Harvard Univer-sity Preschool Project. A team of researchers led by

Dr. Burton White studied young children aged eight to eighteen months over a ten-year period, hoping to discover which experiences in the early years of life con-tribute to the development of healthy, intelligent hu-man beings.

The results of this impor-tant study are summarized below.

A. It is increasingly clear that the origins of human competence are to be found in a critical period of devel-opment between eight and eighteen months of age. The child’s experiences during these brief months do more to infl uence future intellec-tual competence than any time before or after.

B. The single most impor-tant environmental factor in the life of the child is his or her mother. “She is on the hook,” said Dr. White, and exercises

more infl uence on her child’s experiences than any other person or circumstance.

C. The amount of live language directed to a child (not to be confused with television, radio or over-heard conversations) is vital to his or her development of fundamental linguistic, intellectual and social skills. The researchers concluded, “Providing a rich social life for a twelve- to fi fteen-month-old child is the best thing you can do to guaran-tee a good mind.”

D. Those children who were given free access to living areas of their homes progressed much faster than those whose movements were restricted.

E. The nuclear family is the most important edu-cational delivery system. If we are going to produce capable, healthy children,

it will be by strengthening family units and by improv-ing the interactions that oc-cur within them.

F. The best parents were those who excelled at three key functions:

1. They were superb de-signers and organizers of their children’s environments.

2. They permitted their children to interrupt them for brief, thirty-second epi-sodes, during which per-sonal consultation, comfort, information and enthusiasm were exchanged.

3. They were fi rm disci-plinarians while simultane-ously showing great affec-tion for their children.

Occasionally, information comes along that needs to be fi led away for future ref-erence. These fi ndings from the Harvard University Pre-school Project are that sig-nifi cant. You will not want

to forget these six fi ndings. I believe they hold the keys to raising healthy children.

QUESTION: I have a friend who is a frequent victim of spousal abuse. How would she go about dealing with her husband’s problem?

DR. DOBSON: The princi-ples of “Love Must be Tough” offer the best response to an abusive husband. They begin with a recognition that be-havior does not change when things are going smoothly. If change is to occur, it usually does so in a crisis situation. Thus, a crisis must be created and managed very carefully.

After moving out and mak-ing it clear that the woman has no intention of returning, the ball moves to her hus-band’s court.

If he never responds, she never returns. If it takes a year, or fi ve years, then so be it. He has to want her badly enough

to face his problem and toreach out to her.

When (and if) her husbandacknowledges that he has anabusive behavior pattern andpromises to deal with it, nego-tiations can begin.

A plan can be agreed uponthat involves intensive Chris-tian counseling with a personof the wife’s choosing.

She should not return homeuntil the counselor concludesthat she will be safe and thatthe husband is on the way torecovery.

Gradually, they put their re-lationship back together.

Dr. Dobson is founder andchairman of the board of thenonprofi t organization Fo-cus on the Family, ColoradoSprings, CO 80995 (www.family.org). Questions andanswers are excerpted from“Solid Answers” and “Bring-ing Up Boys,” both publishedby Tyndale House.

JamesDobsonFocus on the Family

With God on your side, bad things will always work out

One measure of Chris-tian maturity is how we respond to unfortunate circumstances that hap-pen to us.

One of my favorite scriptures is Romans 8:28, “All things work together for the good to those who love the Lord, to them who are called according to his purpose”.

To me that says ulti-

mately nothing bad can happen to me, but it really depends on me to believe it or not.

Here is a story I heard recently about a Christian explorer named Thomas Hearne.

He was leading a very difficult expedition in northern Canada, hop-ing to find the start of the Coppermine River.

After a few days into their trek, thieves stole most of their supplies.

This misfortune would have discouraged many travelers but not Hearne.

His response to this see-ingly unfortunate circum-

stance should inspire us all to look for the good in every situation.

In his daily journal he wrote “The weight of our baggage being lightened, our next day’s journey was more swift and plesant”.

When bad things come your way do you fret and worry?

Next time try look-ing for the good in everysituation.

If you love God he will cause the bad things that happen to somehow work in your favor.

Pastor’sSpotlight

By Jennifer CorbettThe News Standard

The Farm Bureau Building was buzzing with the sounds of worship Sunday as the group “Heaven Sent” performed an array of Christian and gospel songs.

The four-member band took control of the pageant stage and had the whole crowd clap-ping and stomping along with the beat of the music.

The group’s members include Rick Stith, Mara Duskey, John Montgomery and Steve Robbins.

After the band fi nished, Dean Haynes performed a few gospel songs acapella.

book discussions where readers can join together to have conversations about new books of the day.

As a library, the facility does center on books and the county has shown its love of reading in strong numbers.

More than 77,000 books were checked out during the last year.

“We try to keep the current best sellers,” Baelz said.

But, since the present building means limited space, keeping a full catalog of the newest books is not possible.

However, the library is part of a statewide system that solves that problem.

“If we don’t have a book, we can request it from a member library and have it shipped here,” Baelz said.

Baelz noted the library of today is nothing like those of the past.

“Things are a little dif-ferent now,” she said. “It’s not a sit in the corner and be quiet atmosphere. There is always something going on and we like it that way. It let’s us know people are here enjoying and partici-pating in what we do.”

It’s not just the printed word that brings people into the library. The Internet has now become a popular tool of the facility.

“A lot of people still don’t have a computer or the In-ternet,” Baelz said. “Espe-cially now with the unem-ployment situation, we see people coming in to do job searches or fi ll out online applications.”

The directors both noted the Internet popularity is so large, there is sometimes a wait of at least an hour for someone to have access.

And, with more than 15,000 users within a year’s time, and a limited number of computers, a system had to be developed.

“We put a reservation system in place about a year ago,” Baelz said. “That was in order to give everyone an equal amount of time.”

She also noted the library has wireless Internet, so pa-trons can bring their laptops to use.

“That’s one of the fi rst things people cut back on in their personal budgets,” Stith added. “But, we can of-fer those services along with having DVDs of their favor-ite television programs they

can take home to watch.”Television programs, mu-

sicals, and old movies are also a part of what library patrons have come to ap-preciate.

More than 30,000 DVDs have been checked out in the last year.

The library began adding popular television shows to their collection. Shows ranging from “The Andy Griffi th Show” to “Lost” are now available.

“Libraries are more im-portant now than they were 10 years ago, especially with the economy as it is now,” Baelz said. “You can walk in, check out a book, a TV show, check your e-mail, and go to a yoga class — all for free. It’s hard to fi nd cheap things to do, especial-ly when you have kids.”

“I get kids coming up to me asking me how much things in the library cost and I go ‘It’s free’ and they can’t believe it,” Stith said.

The library also serves as information central.

“If we don’t have the answer to a question, or a book or DVD, we will do everything we can to fi nd it somehow,” Baelz said. “We constantly want to hear sug-gestions because we want to serve the people’s needs and wants. If there is a de-mand for a certain program or service, we’ll fi nd a way (to offer that).”

THE NEWS STANDARD/BRIAN GRAVES

Meade County Library workers Jeanne Yates, left, and Dianna Seal reshelve books returned by library patrons. They will soon have more room to do their jobs when the library moves to its new facility next year.

By Jennifer CorbettThe News Standard

When Virgie Walker was 18-years-old, her mother taught her to crochet. It was an art form she kept close to her over the years.

Now at 85-years-old, she isn’t laying down the cro-chet needle anytime soon.

“I crochet to keep my mind occupied,” she said.

Walker, along with local residents, showcased their work this week during the Meade County Fair in the exhibit halls.

Some of the catego-ries include pillows, wall hangings, ceramics, draw-ings, paintings, rugs, clothing, quilts, fruits and vegetables.

After the exhibits were evaluated, first place re-ceived $5, second place re-

ceived $3 and third place received $2 and many people were awarded hon-orary ribbons.

Some of Walker’s sub-missions included rugs, afghans, table runners, place mats, potholders and roosters she crocheted from a book she bought for 10 cents in 1942.

She isn’t a stranger to the fair; in fact, she has been showing off her work for almost 25 years. In 2008 she won grand champion for her place mats.

“I’ve been very fortu-nate to have entered all these years and received ribbons,” she said.

For 47-year-old Guy Russell, some of his exhib-its came from working on a farm. He submitted giant sunflowers and potatoes.

The potatoes were dug

in June and some weighed upwards of 3 pounds and were 10-12 inches long, Russell said.

Another exhibit Russell submitted was a cedar chest that took him almost a week to make.

According to Jennifer Bridge, Meade County ex-tension agent for family and consumer sciences, the exhibit halls typically have around 1,300 items.

The exhibits are broken off into categories and ev-erything has a tag with the owner’s information on it.

“There are a lot of neat home furnishings,” Bridge said. “Every department has something interesting.”

To find out more infor-mation about submitting exhibits next year, contact Jennifer Bridge at 270-422-4958.

and what would you draw with it?’

“They were simple ques-tions, but ones that got to show your personality,” Cruz said. “(The judges) actually get to know you because they don’t get to see your inner personality on stage … they just get to see the outer you.”

Cruz’s schedule was also fi lled with rehears-als. In one portion, they pick a fake top six to show the girls where to go if they make it that far and they also crowned a mockwinner.

“I always thought it was bad luck to be called out as the fake winner,” Cruz said. “And there I was … called out as the fake win-ner.”

But that supposed bad luck didn’t last for long as Cruz made it to the top six and was ultimately crowned Miss Teen Unit-ed States.

“My heart was beating out of my chest,” she said. “When they said the fi rst runner up I just clinched my fi st … I really don’t

know what I did when they said my name. I think I screamed but I’m not sure. We’re waiting on the video to see what I ac-tually did.”

While she was up on stage, Cruz didn’t see the audience.

“The lights were right on you, so all you saw was the lights,” she said. “So I just kind of looked out ateverybody.”

Throughout the week, Cruz got really close to the 2009 Miss Teen United

States.“She gave me a hug and

said ‘you have to make the best out of it,’” Cruz said.

Cruz isn’t letting the crown go to her head. In fact, her hope is to use it for the Dove Campaign and the Ronald McDon-ald house.

For now, Cruz is excited about her new crown and fi nding a new box for it to be placed on her shelf next to her Miss Teen Kentucky crown.

Staff ReportThe News Standard

The bill that would continue unemployment benefits for millions of out-of-work Americans was slowed from passage Wednesday morning as Republican senators be-gan offering motions de-laying the final approval of the measure.

It had been expected the U.S. Senate would cast a fi -

nal “up and down” vote on Wednesday, followed by a quick vote in the House of Representatives, then send-ing it to President Obama’s desk for signing later that evening.

However, GOP senators wanted to take the op-portunity to express their displeasure with the bill retaining their argument the funding adds to the national debt and is not paid for.

Republicans wanted to pass a separate bill that would have used unused stimulus funds to pay for the benefi ts.

Democrats, with the help of the two GOP senators from Maine, have the 60 votes necessary to pass the bill and block any fi libuster attempts.

At press time, it was ex-pected the bill would get its fi nal votes on Thursday and then be signed into law.

Report A Crime 270-422-HOPE (4673)

By Gerry FischerThe News Standard

Part 2 of a two-party story from last week’s issue of The News Standard.

Since communications between the guerrillas were tenuous, Bill Marion and his associates had to synchro-nize plans over the months to combine to attack the home guard. We know from one old history that the plan of attack was hatched in the Meadville / Hill Grove area, and we know that Marion led the raid.

He was riding a white horse that day and had a white pheasant feather in his hat. Marion would of-ten place feathers of various kinds in the band of his black cavalry hat, and sometimes he would use Polk leaves as a hat decoration.

He made a very gallant-soldierly appearance lead-ing his company of Partisan Rangers.

His men came down the old Hardinsburg Road be-tween the Capt. Anderson Cemetery and Jailer Bondu-rant’s house and woods, east of Frogtown Road, at a place presently across from the new Meade County Courthouse.

The rebels usually trav-eled in groups of 10 to 20 members. Using 15 as an av-erage, there were about 100 guerrillas in Marion’s force.

It is reported that there were 100 Union Soldiers stationed at the court-house, and they held the high ground. The rebels at-tacked from the southwest and they began fi ring before they were in range.

The commander of the Union forces, alerted by the gunfi re, split his command, and kept about half of his men holding the guerrillas front in a defensive line fi r-ing back toward Broadway.

While the Confederates were so engaged he sent half of his men out of his garrison to fl ank the rebels and attack their rear. The battle was continued until the dispatched Union sol-diers fell upon the rebel’s rear rebuking them.

Marion and company were forced to retreat to-ward Meadeville. No re-cords of dead or wounded have been found, although some casualties must have occurred.

Bill Marion’s horse was shot, and fell dead near Wil-liam Fulton’s place on Hill Grove Road where Marion and others had safe houses and friends. There is no date for the battle thus far found, but we know it was before the end of August because

Captain Bryant was killed in the Coomes Cabin Raid the last week in August 1864, and Captain Dupoyster was killed in Taylorsville Ky., September 12, 1864, in an at-tempt to free one of his men that was jailed there.

Marion, later moved his and, Mose Webster’s sphere of operation east, joining with Sue Mundy, Isaiah Coulter, Billy Magruder, One Armed Sam Berry, Frank James, Bob and Jim Younger, and William Clark Quantrill.

On April 16, 1865, while being pursued by Captain George W. Penn and his com-pany of state guards, he was intercepted while he was be-ing driven by one company of the 53rd Kentucky that was pushing Marion toward New Haven.

This plan worked, and Marion and his second in command Mose Webster, were attacked in Manton, Marion County, at the Still House.

Mose Webster and his men got away, but were hotly pursued. Ed Terrell, the Union Scout and two of his men joined with Captain Penn, and were in the battle.

When Captain Marion fell, Terrell claimed the body taking it to Louisville for credit, although, Marion was brought down by one rifl e bullet and Terrell and his men were armed only with revolvers.

Oddly, Marion wrote a letter to General Palmer March 12, 1865, the date Sue Mundy, Henry Magruder, and Henry Metcalf were captured near Webster,

Kentucky by Major Cyrus Wilson.

Marion’s letter published in “The Louisville Daily Jour-nal“, demanded that his men, Sue Mundy, Billy Magruder, and Henry Metcalf (Medkiff) be released, if not, he prom-ised he would “haunt the city of Louisville until he had re-venge over them”.

Prentice, for some rea-son, waited until March 25 to publish Marion’s letter, well after Jerome Clarke was hanged, March 15. The letter Marion sent is post marked Meade County, Kentucky.

According to Billy Magruder’s confession to Major Cyrus Wilson, before he was hanged on October 20, Marion, between March 11 1865, and April 16 1865, returned to Meade County and killed Dr. Lewis, the man that turned in Mundy, Magruder, and Metcalf. Captain Bill Marion likely mailed the letter to Palm-er just before or just after Lewis’s assassination on or about March 12.

Interestingly, when Mari-on was killed Ed Terrell, the man who caught Quantrill, and killed Captains Cox, Big Zay Coulter, Hercules Walker, and 14 other guerril-las, removed from Marion’s body his boots and a heavy gold ring Marion wore.

Although Terrell and Mar-ion hated each other, and swore to kill one another, Terrell held Marion in high regard, for on Terrell’s 1867 death bed, he bequeathed to his brother the only things he truly valued his pistols and Bill Marion’s gold ring.

Chamber luncheon turns into contest

By Jennifer CorbettThe News Standard

A few local business own-ers got a face full of wa-termelon at the Chamber of Commerce meeting last Thursday in the Farm Bu-reau Building.

A group of three men and three women wore garbage bags and went face fi rst into a watermelon half to show their excitement for the Meade County fair this week.

In the end, Judge/Execu-tive Harry Craycroft took home the title of fi nishing his watermelon in the quick-est time.

David Pace, the chair of the Meade County Fair, was on hand to talk about some aspects of the fair, as well as some new additions.

“We want to have some-thing for everyone,” Pace said. “We always want peo-ple to feel like they’re a part of the fair.”

More than over 120 busi-ness and campaign booths will be set up

Some of the new events in-clude a beef breeding show held last Saturday, and a re-mote control truck and trac-tor pull Saturday, July 24 in the new cattle barn.

A hometown concert

featuring the Rachel Tim-berlake Band and Floord was held Monday night. That event also included an $8,000 drawing.

The pageants will be full of beauties this year; Miss Meade County had nine contestants; Miss Teen had 30; Miss Pre-Teen had 44; and Peewee Miss and Pee-wee Mr. had 17.

This fair is also show-casing a demolition derby lawnmower contest, a new police command center and a brand new auction and show barn.

According to Pace, the fair won a $2,000 grant from Sam’s Club to help fund its numerous events.

“I’m very pleased with how it turned out,” Pace said. “I really feel like the fairgrounds will be in good shape … We try to make it as safe as possible.”

In other business, Home-plate catered the lunch and Bluegrass Cellular was the sponsor.

Chamber President Kelly Roberts spoke about the success of the Chamber’s Golf Scramble held June 18.

“It went very well,” he said. “It’s a major contribu-tion to a lot of the things we do.”

A group of three men and three women took part in a watermelon eating com-petition. The winner of the contest was Judge Ex-ecutive Harry Craycroft.

She may not be wicked and she may not ride a broom, but she defi nitely won the youth talent show on Sunday night dressed as a witch.

Jennifer Whelan, 14, donned the stereotypical witch garb — a fl owing black gown and pointed hat — and even painted her skin green for her per-formance of “No Good Deed” from the Broadway musical “Wicked”.

“It was defi nitely a chal-lenge for me. I fi gured that song would give me a lot of stage presence and re-ally get the audience into it,” Whelan said.

Her witching wardrobe, coupled with the way the she belted out the aria in such a fi erce and com-manding way, induced the audience to ovation.

“They all seemed very intense,” she said. “I no-ticed a lot of people were staring during the per-formance). There wasn’t much talking and that is a good thing,” she said.

Whelan said that she prefers to perform in cos-tume. The costume may have even helped to keep her cool and deliver the

award winning perfor-mance. “A costume makes me feel more comfortable around people and that al-ways helps me get into the character,” she said

The Flaherty teen, who has never received any type of vocal training, credits her singing ability to her DNA.

“I have a musical fam-ily,” Whelan said. “My parents have very good voices.”

Whelan, who has per-formed in the Meade County Fair youth talent show three years in a row, competed in a duet with her sister at the state fair talent show last year with less than desirable results.

“We didn’t make it far at all,” Whelan said.

Her performance at the youth talent showed has earned her a repeat trip to the state talent show.

Despite the outcome, the trophy she won Sun-day night — her fi rst tro-phy for singing — will sit on her dresser as a constant reminder of her natural talent.

“When I got called up for a participation ribbon, I never thought I would get anything like this,” she said with a grin, as she clutched her trophy.

A10 - The News Standard Friday, July 23, 2010FEATURESFEATURESOlin House provides unique historic setting

By Jennifer CorbettThe News Standard

In the early 1900’s, alco-hol was prohibited. One Meade County family de-cided to skirt the law by constructing a small hid-den bar underneath the stairs in the back of their colonial style mansion.

“There is a trap door over to the side of the house and the only thing we can think is that it looks like alcohol was brought up through the basement and handed up,” said Kathy Bonfiglio, who helps maintain the house with her husband Stephen. “Obviously it’s intended to really store alcohol … with the archi-tecture of the house you wouldn’t know it (the bar) was here.”

This mansion, known as the “Olin House,” was built in 1880. The home, which is located on Law-rence Street, has five guest bedrooms, a library, din-ning room, café room, kitchen, billiard room, and a balcony over-look-ing the Ohio River.

“(The view) is absolute-ly beautiful,” Bonfiglio said. “If you go upstairs, the view is breathtaking.”

In the beginning, it be-longed to the Lewis fam-ily, whose patriarch was a prominent Meade County attorney at the time.

“Mr. Lewis built (the house) for him, his wife and their eight children,” Bonfiglio said. “They had a one room school house here on the property, which I guess was an odd-ity at that time.”

Once he died in 1919, his daughter Mary Lewis lived in the house with her husband and nephew until 1950.

After that she sold the house to Olin Chemicals, now Arch Chemicals, who used the home as a

way to house plant man-agers. Later, the Hillcrest Country Club owned the residence and it was again used to provide accom-modations for overnight guests and dignitaries.

Since its construction in 1880, the over 4,000 square foot house has had minor nips and tucks, but the overall structure has stayed the same. The en-trance still has the original doorbell and knob.

Besides the hidden bar, the house also has a but-ler ’s pantry, which leads from the kitchen into the formal dinning room so people could take trays in and out, similar to a restaurant. The pantry contains silverware, cups, plates and just about any-thing to serve dinner.

Another unique feature of the house is its sturdy, tall storm doors near the entrance of the building.

“They are original to the house,” Bonfiglio said. “There is an old saying in the south that if those doors were closed it meant

the family was not receiv-ing. It didn’t matter what was going on … once the doors were open, it means the family is receiving and you’re welcome to knock on the door and visit.”

Across the street, visi-tors to the Olin House can get another slice of his-tory with a graveyard that holds some of the original settlers of Brandenburg — even Mr. Branden-burg, who founded the town. Further down the street stands General John Hunt Morgan’s formerheadquarters.

“Your view should be very, very similar to what the Lewis family saw,” Bonfiglio said.

Another unique aspect of the Olin House is its location; it has a country feel to it, but it is only a few minutes from town.

“The house is extreme-ly quiet,” Bonfiglio said. “It’s very difficult to hear sirens … it is very peace-ful. You would expect to be somewhere way out in the country based on your

views, you would never expect that Kroger is right around the corner.”

There are two pictures of the Olin House near the entrance. The pictures, from 1910 and 1981, show how little the house has changed over the years.

“When you look at it, it is not a night and day thing,” Bonfiglio said. “It’s still very similar to what it looked likeoriginally.”

Even with its age the house doesn’t make any unusual creeks or sounds.

“Every now and then you will step on a stair just the right way,” she added. “It’s a sturdy, well built house … I commend whoever physically did the labor on it because it is really, really well built … (all of the past own-ers) have maintained the house and kept it structur-ally sound.”

Aside from the histori-cal aspects, one thing this building can promise is a calm, stress-free at-mosphere for any event

ranging from weddings and anniversaries tobaby showers.

There are five guest bedrooms available for overnight guests, but be-cause Olin House was for-merly a guesthouse, not every room has its own bathroom; there are twoshared baths.

A gazebo, café room and huge porch are perfect for weddings. Bonfiglio add-ed that almost 50 percent of the brides who get mar-

ried at the house prefer to get married on the porch so they can have the house in the background.

“We try to make ev-erything as comfortable as possible,” Bonfiglio said. “So we’ve kind of gone from room to room and looked at what we needed to change to make (this house) a little more user friendly … we want people to come in, relax and just enjoybeing here.”

Much like Tom T. Hall, I like old dogs, children, and watermelon wine.I like Rodney Horn, even if he did make me feel like a moron for two and a half hours.

It’s like this ... Sunday af-ternoon drives along rural back roads are among my favorite childhood memo-ries; always eager to see what was going to be over the next hill. Special times indeed.I looked forward to the day when I would take my own children on such outings, checking out their delighted faces in the rear view mirror as they drank in the beauty of the countryside.

Of course the reality was my kids were either ask-ing “Are we there yet?” as we pulled out of our driveway, or, more likely, playing video games.

So … I usually travel alone when in search of scenic beau-ty, which is why I decided to make my fi rst trip down Old Landing Road along the Lee-Estill County line.Meandering along beside the Kentucky River, fl anked by green hills, unique residences and fertile farmland, it imme-diately qualifi ed for my “most scenic” list of roadways. There are long stretches, seemingly two to three miles in length, that are totally uninhabited.

Shortly, I met Rodney.His place is hard to ignore.He and wife Wanda have an attractive home sitting in a val-ley along the river. There is a red Hummer in the driveway. But those are about the only two signs of normalcy.Otherwise their property is dotted by dozens upon doz-ens of boats, ancient cars and trucks, unique farm and commercial vehicles and equipment, and trees, some of which are one-of-a-kind in Estill County.

For a guy like me, who neither knows or cares about anything mechanical, and who probably can’t identify more than fi ve kinds of trees,

a place like that can be rather intimidating.

Rodney seems to sense that as

soon as I step out of my car.

Even before I have time to introduce myself, he has popped the hood on a car and is asking me what I see that’s missing.Probably even a fi ve-year-old would have noticed the “thin-gie” where the spark plugs go was nearly half gone… but not me.

You would think this 64-year-old Vietnam vet would have given up on me right there, but he didn’t.We went on to many more ve-hicles with Rodney asking me what I felt it would take to get them back on the road … us-ing such foreign terms as dif-ferential, camshaft, fl y wheel and manifold.

When he fi nishing torment-ing me with mechanical talk, he turned to trees, asking me to name the various ones he had set out, some of which he had plucked from the river.

Near the end of our tour, after at least a dozen failed at-tempts at naming a tree, Rod-ney points out one of the more fl owery ones and asks me what kind I think it might be.Finally, he points out it isn’t a tree at all, but a rose bush held off the ground by an upside down TV satellite dish.

I may not know much about trees or things me-chanical, but I do know the Horns live on a very his-torical piece of property.Their 150 acres have been in

the Horn family since the ear-ly 1700s, dating back through a ton of great-grandparents.“You can read about this piece of property over at Fort Boonesboro,” Horn said, who also takes great joy in show-ing unique features such as a brick structure on the Lee County side of the river used in providing steam for trains.

The latest Horn on the prop-erty is the son of the late Ar-nold and Myrtle Baker Horn.Arnold, who died in 1995, was a test pilot in Dallas dur-ing World War II, and his wife, a West Virginia native, was a descendent of the McCoys from the famous Hatfi eld-McCoy Feud.

Rodney was born in Huntington, W. Va., and attended school in Dayton, Ohio, before his parents re-located to the family farm.He built his home in 1989 after working for Southeast Coal Company and while operating his own excavating busi-ness, Rodney’s Earth-moving & Equipment.He says his collection of ve-hicles came about through business connections and because he’s an admitted“pack rat.”

Whether you’re look-ing to make a trade or not, I highly recom-mend a visit out to this friendly man’s place.Just be prepared to answer questions such as how many cylinders in his Hummer.The answer isn’t two, four, six, or eight, but five,by the way.

At Nanny’s Childcare, the kids say the darndest things.

“These kids will tell you anything,” said Nancy Carter. “They just kind of say what’s on their mind.”

Carter is the owner of Nanny’s Childcare, which opened its doors on Sept. 31, 2009. The business, lo-cated on Broadway, is a full service daycare, catering to children from six weeks to 12-years-old. The business has rooms for infants, tod-dlers, pre-school and for after-school students.

“This house was built in 1912,” Carter said. “It was TLC daycare for 21 years and then they approached me about keeping a day-care in it so I changed the name, but it’s still the same service.”

All of Carter’s 15 em-ployees are state trained, CPR certifi ed and have their required number of state hours.

Each employee designs a plan for each day, typical-ly involving daily activi-ties and different themes such as Father’s Day and Christmas.

Even though her staff is small, the amount of love

they have for their students goes through the roof.

Every once in a while, the daycare takes it’s stu-dents on a walking fi eld trip down the street to the Meade County PublicLibrary.

Nanny’s Childcare isn’t like most daycares. It gives a homelike atmosphere, which makes the children and its workers more re-laxed.

“I think because it’s a house it makes them feel like they’re at grandma’s house,” she said.

For Margaret Lamkin, her love of the business comes from watching the children grow up right be-fore her eyes.

“Some came in as a baby and left when they were 12-years-old,” she said. “(Nanny’s Childcare) is kind of like a second fam-ily away from home.”

The relationships they build over time are another thing Lamkin enjoys about her job.

In particular, she bonded with a former student and even though she attends a different daycare, Lamkin and the young girl often call each other to catch up.

“She calls me and it means a lot,” she said. “When they leave from

here, they don’t forget you.”

Birthdays and holidays are important aspects of Nanny’s Childcare. When a child’s birthday approach-es, they get their own party full of balloons and deco-rations. Once holidays are around the corner, they are celebrated on the daycare’s walls.

Prior to Nanny’s Child-care, Carter was close to re-enrolling into nursing

school. In the past, she had worked as a nurse’s aide in Elizabethtown. She also worked in the Breck-inridge County Schools for 13 years in the food ser-vice department and even got her feet wet in daycare service right out of high school when she helped out at TLC.

The business can some-times provide a hectic schedule to its employees, but once Carter sees her

smiling students the stress disappears.

“Kids are just like the weather,” she said. “It changes all the time … You’re listening to them for a couple of minutes and next minute they’ll see a tractor go down the road and that’s it … Some days you just have to go with it.”

As for the future of her business, Carter hopes it keeps it’s same location

and see more smiles onchildren’s faces.

“As long as I can keepmy numbers up and keepmy ratio up, I just want tobe here as long as the goodLord lets us,” she said.

Nanny’s Childcare is lo-cated on Broadway and isopen from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.Monday-Friday. For moreinformation on the busi-ness call 270-422-3993 ore-mail them at njcarter@bbtel.com

Homeplate restaurant awarded Chamber’s member of the month

Submitted By Meade Co. Chamber of Commerce Home Plate Family

Restaurant is the Meade County Area Chamber of Commerce’s Member of the Month for July.

The restaurant was se-lected because of its sup-port of the Chamber of Commerce and its high level of involvement with the community, according to Chamber of Commerce President Kelly Roberts.

“Successful small busi-nesses like Home Plate are the foundation of our or-ganization — and, in fact, of the economy of Meade County,” he says.

“Home Plate is a great example of how a good idea and hard work have built a business that’s well known and widelyappreciated.”

Home Plate, located at 656 River Ridge Plaza, cel-ebrates its fourth anniver-sary July 17.

Owner Kathy Simmons takes pride in its accom-plishments during those years:

• The addition of a ban-quet room, which boosted the restaurant’s seating capacity to 150 from 100, in July 2008.

• The growth of its menu, which now in-cludes breakfast five days each week and a buffet on Sunday.

• The addition of cater-ing for off-site events.

• The growth of the res-taurant’s staff to 12 from the eight who worked there initially.

All of that has been pos-sible, she says, “because of our large base of loyal customers who appreci-ate what we do and our willingness to meet their needs.”

As for the secrets of Home Plate’s success, she says it’s the same for-mula that has made other small businesses in Meade County successful:

• Lots of hard work.• Spending a lot of time

at the business.•Listening to customers.• Serving good food at a

fair price.She cites Home Plate’s

catering business as a good example of how that formula has worked:

“There was a need for a good caterer in our com-munity, and once we start-ed providing this service the results were outstand-ing — for us and for our customers.”

“They appreciate our efforts to customize their events to meet their needs.”

Simmons says she tries to reciprocate for the support the restaurant gets from its customers by supporting a variety of school, church, and community events.

There’s a soft spot in her heart for ball teams, in particular. One son, Alex, who died in 2005, was a high school baseballplayer. His memory lives at Home Plate, which is decorated in a baseball theme that includes a mu-ral of him at a major league baseball fi eld.

And, Simmons supports a fund that gives one or two scholarships each year to high school gradu-ates headed for vocational study. Another son, Eric, helps her run the restau-rant.

Operating hours are from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, when breakfast is served; 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, when all meals are from the buffet; and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mon-day.

Home Plate’s telephone number — for both restau-rant and catering calls — is 270-422-1759.

Talk about endurance. The Western Horse Show

at Meade County Fair-ground’s new horse arena on Saturday night lasted until the wee hours of Sun-day morning.

As dusk crept by and slowly turned to dawn, riders took turns weaving through barrels and poles, competing to see who could record the fastest time.

After all was said and done, the event took nearly 10 hours to complete.

“I was handing out checks until about fi ve in the morn-ing,” Western Horse Show Superintendent Mark J.Popham said.

Not only did the marathon horse show have to contend with a race against the sun, but mother nature reared her ugly head, as a late night/early morning shower doused the new arena.

Popham, who has been the Western Horse Show superintendent for the past four years, thought it went pretty well, despite the shower.

“The track got pretty wet and it was real muddy at the pleasure show Sunday morning,” he said.

Despite miserable condi-tions at times, the Western Horse Show proved to be a popular event by posting an unusually high number of participants.

The show featured a larger than usual amount of riders registered in the pole races.

“We had a lot of pole horses, and you usually don’t have that many,”Popham said.

The total number of riders was nearly 50, he added.

The open barrel competi-tion saw an infl ux of riders as well, featuring 80 rid-ers — up signifi cantly from past years.

The rise in numbers proves that the Meade County Fair does not just cater to motor sports and tractor and truck pulls, and acknowledges the fair’s ag-ricultural roots.

Branching off from those roots, the show featured a new event this year.

Organizers added a res-cue race just a few weeks before the event.

The race features a person standing at one end of the arena and a person mounted on a horse at the other end.

The contestant on horse-back rides the length of the arena to the person stand-ing, who then swings up onto the back of the horse. The team with the fastest time wins the event.

“That was one of the bet-ter things we had at the show this year,” Popham said.

Popham feels that remi-niscing is a reason for the popularity of the show, and that being a spectator helps

some people relive child-hood memories.

“You talk to people all the time that say ‘I used to ride horses when I was a kid’, but they don’t any more. It may take some people back to when they were kids,” he said.

“I know we did have a lot of local people from Meade, Breck and Hardin County,” Popham said.

Bradee Addison, who was one of the participants from Meade County, fared well in the competition.

“I know she had a real good run in the open,”Popham said.

Motocross fans swarmed the Meade County Fair-grounds on Sunday for the annual motocross event during the Meade County Fair.

More than 150 racers came to the much antici-pated event.

“We had a good turnout, especially considering how many other races were going on around here,” said Mike Wheeler, one of the event’s coordinators.

There was a state motocross race near Louisville and several other events going on last weekend, but Meade County still drew a big crowd of racers.

“We had some competition (with other races) but we did alright,” Wheeler said. “We’re real happy

Lady Waves remember yet another great season

A decade after championship, Lebonte still running strongBy Monte Dutton

NASCAR This Week

Bobby Labonte, who won the (then) Winston Cup championship a decade ago, is now 31st in the Sprint Cup standings. Labonte left TRG Motorsports and fi nished 16th at Daytona in a Chevy entered by James Finch. The future is murky.

What’s a nice guy like La-bonte doing in a place like this? He’s a champion (both the Cup and what is now Nationwide). He’s even been a runner-up in both series. Labonte has won 21 Cup races and 26 poles. He’s 46 years old.

“Our car was good for

about 20 laps,” he said af-ter the Coke Zero 400. “We kept track position for a while, then we got a ‘wave-around’ (back on the lead lap). We got involved in ‘the Big One’ (a 20-car pile-up), and that was unfortunate for the team. It took out a lot of good cars, but we were lucky enough to not have too bad a damage to keep us from running strong at the end. All in all, it was OK.”

Labonte will once again be in the No. 09 Chevrolet in Saturday night’s LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway.

After 11 seasons at Joe Gibbs Racing, Labonte moved to Petty Enterprises

for three years, fi nishing 21st, 18th and 21st in the Cup point standings from 2006 through 2008. In 2009, he began the season with the Hall of Fame team, then moved to Kevin Buckler’s TRG team late in the year.

Most would consider a victory in the 2000 Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway as the single big-gest victory of Labonte’s ca-reer. He has won six times at Atlanta Motor Speedway during his career, coupled with three victories each at Michigan and Pocono.

Labonte was the Grand Marshal of the Coke Zero JOHN CLARK/NASCAR THIS WEEK PHOTO

Former NASCAR champion Bobby Labonte is still run-ning strong at age 46.

On Tuesday, the success of the Meade County Fair’s lawn-mower derby was the poor state of the economy in action.

Typically, demolition derbies rule the fair, but with only 11 cars in the night’s main event mini-car demolition derby, the lawnmow-er derby had 35 participants.

“This is the biggest event I’ve been in with the lawnmowers,” said Anthony Connor of Cory-don, Ind. “It’s getting popular. It’s cheap and a lot of guys like doing it.”

Programs such as Cash for Clunkers and even scrapping cars is making viable demo der-by cars almost extinct.

“It’s tough to keep doing

it,” said Tony Kelly, Tuesday night’s mini-car derby winner. “But if you have good friends, you can hang in there and do it together.”

Connor won the lawnmower event of 35 participants based off his wit and experience.

“With that many people out there, it’s hectic,” Connor said, who has competed in seven lawnmower derbies and won six of them. “You have to know where people are at all times and know where you’re going.”

Despite his experience, Con-nor was still nervous.

“I had butterfl ies before I got in here,” he said. “It’s just an adrenaline rush. It’s fun to get out there.

After a hearty meal, awards were given out to the top var-sity players, which included Erin Sireno (highest batting av-erage and slugging percentage), Mallory Wathen (most runs scored, most stolen bases and the academic award), Britney Lancaster (lowest ERA), Chel-sea Cummings (highest fi eld-ing percentage for the outfi eld), Erin Benton (highest fi elding percentage for the infi eld), Scar-lett Powers (most RBI) and Ni-cole Brown (110-percent).

with the turnout.”The track was slightly

modifi ed from the previous years. The modifi cations in-cluded the tabletop fi nish line and smaller jumps near the hairpin turns, according to Wheeler.

“We changed the fi nish line jump a little bit,” he said. “We changed some jumps and made sure that the smaller bikes could go over the jumps. Everyone seemed to like the set up.”

Rain, however, did put a little damper on the races during the afternoon. In fact, the last six heats were canceled.

“If we didn’t have a 30 minute delay earlier in the day, we would have been fi ne,” Wheeler said about a delay in preparing the track midway through the races. “But people still stuck around after the storm and wanted to keep racing. So we let them play in the mud for a little bit until we shut down.”

Before the storm, the track was in optimal riding condi-tions, according to Wheeler.

“The track was in great shape,” he said. “Even af-ter having a practice day (on Saturday), the track was still looking good. We just did some touchups before Sunday and everything was good to go.”

Despite the rain and can-cellations, Wheeler was happy with the turnout and the event once again proved to be one of the better race days of the year.

“It was a good day. Ev-eryone was safe,” Wheeler said. “We had one racer hurt his wrist, but we didn’t have any ambulance calls. We were real happy about that.”

Brandenburg’s Levi Camp won two different heats, the Super Mini and Sr. Mini. Also, Travis Hard-castle, of Brandenburg, won the Lites B and the Open B. Alex Edelen dominated the quad with wins in the Quad 4-6 and Quad 7-10.

Meade County Fair ’s Tuesday night mini-car derby was a family affair.

The Kelly family from Brandenburg had been the headquarters of sorts for the participants of the mini-car derby.

“Seven of these cars were built within a half a mile from my house,” Tony Kel-ly said, who was compet-ing against his brother and cousin. “We’re that good of friends who just totally de-stroyed each other’s cars. But it’s all good.”

Kelly jokingly said he blames his grandfather, Joe Kelly or Papa Joe, for getting the family into motorsports.

“He started racing in 1959. It’s all his fault,” Kelly said with a smile.

“It’s a lot fun,” he add-ed. “Whenever you get out there it makes all the work worth it.”

Kelly originally started out racing stock cars, but

switched to derbies. “I just didn’t have the

time to do stock cars,” he said. “So I started to get into county fair derbies.”

Fittingly, Tony Kelly won the event where he

eventually took out the fi-nal car by trapping him on the barriers.

“I got him on the barriers,” Kelly said. “I didn’t want to mess up his car too much.”

Luckily for Kelly and

his competition, they’ll be back in the garage helping each other out.

“Wow, that’s a lot of racing,” Labonte said. “It’s just an honor and a privilege to be able to have that many races under my belt. There have been so many peo-ple who have helped me get to this point in my career.

“I’m not racing just to

hit milestones or any-thing like that. Like I’ve said before, I want to win and be competitive. Hit-ting 600 starts, it’s great, and hopefully, there will be a lot more, too.”

During the event more than 10 lawnmowers were flipped. Connor said he flipped at least four lawn-mowers himself.

“If I can’t take them out with my front end then I try to flip them over,” he said.

Connor actually took out the last person by flipping him over in the corner of the arena.

“I was trying to get him in the back corner where there was some rough dirt,” Connor said. “Once I did, I could catch them on the rough spot then you can flip them over.”

The lawnmower derby drew a big crowd for a Tuesday night. In only its second year at the Meade County Fair it’s here to stay.

“It’s a fun event,” Con-nor said. “A lot of people like it and its big all around the area.”

Tuesday night’s Meade County Fair rollover con-test will be a memorable one, especially for Paynev-ille’s Lee Hardesty.

After fl ipping through the air nearly six times during his fi rst attempt ever at hit-ting the half ramp, Hardes-ty took a commanding lead with 17 points and a stand-ing ovation from the crowd.

But what made it more memorable was halfway though the roll, his fi ve-point safety harness came undone while his car rolled over the cement barriers.

“I felt the barrier and my seat belt was off before I hit it,” Hardesty said, who named himself Metro Man after the small Metro car he was driving. “It was violent but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I thought it would be more violent. My adrenaline was up so much. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get up in the morning but right now I feel good.”

Hardesty added seven more points during his second roll to make a total score of 24 and eventually won the contest.

“This is the fi rst time ever doing this,” Hardesty said. “I just fi gured hit it fast.”

The car Hardesty was us-ing cost only $100 and he used the car for fi ve years in demolition derbies.

“I fi gure I got my worth out of this car,” he said, who decided to convert it into a rollover car. “I took the win-dows out of it and painted it and put it in the rollover contest. The plates are still good on it too.”

Hardesty out did his com-petition of six cars, includ-ing Meade County’s Rusty Kelly. Kelly set the pace with a 12-point roll, which also sent him over the ce-ment barriers. Hardesty out did the Brown family — in-cluding 72-year-old Mealey

Brown — who have more than 100 years of combined experience.

Despite rolling over more than eight times on Tues-day, Hardesty will roll up

to Corydon, Ind., next week to participate in his second rollover contest.

“I blew out my back wheel and that’s about it,” Hardesty said of the car’s

condition. “I’m taking it to Corydon (Ind.) next week. It will be fi ne.”

FRANKFORT — Anglers along the banks of the low-land rivers in western Ken-tucky may soon encounter a toothy fi sh that they haven’t seen for decades, if at all: the alligator gar. Alligator gar restoration efforts by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources began last year in the west-ern part of the state.

Fisheries Biologist Paul Rister said it’s not clear how the fi sh will react to their new home.

“Because they have been ab-sent from our rivers for so long, we’re unsure if we have the habitat that alligator gar pre-fer,” he explained. “Only time will tell if they become estab-lished in western Kentucky.”

Western Kentucky has longnose, shortnose and spot-ted gar, all three of which are common species. While local residents may call all of these alligator gar, the truth is that no one has seen an alligator gar in Kentucky waters since the late 1970s.

Alligator gar were once native to the backwaters, sloughs and bayous of the Mississippi, lower Ohio, Ten-nessee and Cumberland riv-

ers. However, this species dis-appeared from the state for a variety of reasons, including habitat loss for spawning fi sh and juvenile gar.

Due to the alligator gar’s rarity, the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commis-sion added this fi sh to its list of endangered species. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources also identifi ed the alligator gar as a species of greatest conser-vation need in the agency’s Wildlife Action Plan. Alliga-tor gar restoration efforts are now eligible for federal fund-ing through the State Wildlife Grants program of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Kentucky Fish and Wildlife employees have developed a restoration plan to bring this amazing fi sh back to its native range in western Kentucky. Similar restoration efforts are also underway by state and federal agencies in Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee and other southeastern states.

In 2009, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife employees re-introduced approximately 4,700 juvenile alligator gar back into select rivers and creeks along the Mississip-pi and lower Ohio rivers. More of these fi sh are being stocked this year.

With the goal of this proj-ect as a restoration effort, fi sh will only be stocked where they once occurred naturally. Because alligator gar grow slowly, it will take many years before these fi sh begin reach-ing large sizes. Female alliga-tor gar do not become mature until age 11, while males reach maturity at age 6.

This restoration effort pro-vides fi sheries biologists a unique opportunity to learn about the alligator gar’s biol-ogy, movements and habitat preferences in Kentucky. Sur-gically implanted transmitters in some of the fi sh will allow researchers to track them.

Alligator gar stocked last year are approximately two feet long today. Anglers should release these fi sh if caught, and avoid shooting these gar while bow fi shing.

Alligator gar have a short-er, wider snout than the oth-er species of gar. Anglers can see an image of an alligator gar in the current edition of the Kentucky Fishing and Boating Guide.

Kentucky Fish and Wild-life’s ultimate goal is to de-velop a self-sustaining, natu-ral population of alligator gar in western Kentucky that can provide the opportunity for a recreational sport fi shery.

FRANKFORT — Kentucky is blessed with a diversity of wildlife — some 74 species of mammals, 380 species of birds, and 112 species of rep-tiles and amphibians.

Many of the state’s out-door enthusiasts encourage wildlife on their property and spend countless hours and considerable sums of money, to get close to nature and its wild creatures.

But, when a family of rac-coons takes up residence in the attic, or an opossum spends more time in your ga-rage than the family car does, it doesn’t take long for these uninvited guests to become a nuisance. That’s when it’s time to call the local Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator.

“They are permitted to take and transport wildlife causing damage or threatening public health and safety,” said Chad Soard, a wildlife biologist with the Kentucky Depart-ment of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “At the present time, we have 106 licensed Nuisance Wildlife Control Operators in Kentucky.”

Operators are typically small business owners — men and women working in Kentucky cities, suburbs and rural areas. Opera-tors charge fees to remove nuisance wildlife and they work year-round, often out-side legal hunting and trap-ping seasons.

Based on the annual re-ports submitted by opera-tors, the raccoon is the num-ber one nuisance wildlife species. A majority of the raccoons captured live in the state’s three largest met-ropolitan areas — Louis-ville, Lexington and north-ern Kentucky.

“During the 2008-09 license year operators captured 4,723 raccoons, 3,016 squir-rels, 1,854 opossums and 878 skunks,” said Soard. Other nuisance wildlife species that operators encountered included bats, woodchucks, coyotes, muskrats, beavers, chipmunks, birds, foxes, snakes, river otters, turtles, rabbits, mink and bobcats.

Robert Chilton, who oper-ates Wildlife Animal Control in Henry County, said prob-lems with nuisance wildlife change with the seasons.

“In January and February, when skunks are breeding, the females are seeking out

dens, and that’s when you get problems with them digging under porches,” said Chilton. “The males are fi ghting over females and they do a lot of spraying.”

In May, there can be a spike in calls when raccoons begin to bear their young, and decide to set up a home in somebody’s attic.

“They walk on the roof and fi nd a way to get in from under the eve,” said Chilton. “Squirrels will do that too. They like to go through air vents.”

The telltale sign that some-thing is living in the attic is when homeowners hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet run-ning across attic joists.

In mid-summer, snakes can become a nuisance when they shed their skins.

“They want to get away, where there isn’t any activi-ty. They are vulnerable when they molt,” said Chilton.

That’s why snakes try to come inside garages and out buildings and some-times crawl between walls in houses.

With the onset of cold weather, squirrels seek out warmth in attics. Squirrels have a bad habit of actually working their way down-stairs into houses.

“They follow the light and gnaw their way through gaps in the plywood, where a pipe goes through a wall, the ceiling or into a closet,” said Chilton.

While many homeown-ers ask that the animal be taken from their property

unharmed, Soard said relo-cating nuisance wildlife is not always the best option.

“The primary threat is the spread of disease to new populations,” he said. “Also, relocated animals often die soon after release due to nat-ural mortality factors — star-vation from not being able to fi nd food, or injury from fi ghts with animals they en-counter, when attempting to establish a new territory.”

By law, injured or diseased wildlife must be euthanized.

Nuisance wildlife control operators are permitted to deal with native wildlife under state jurisdiction, but they can’t capture and transport federally-protect-ed species unless they get a permit from the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

Federally protected spe-cies include song birds, birds of prey (such as hawks and owls) and mi-gratory waterfowl.

Resident Canada geese only migrate during pe-riods of severe cold and snow and are a problem in urban areas, where they live around lakes in city parks, golf courses, and subur-ban neighborhoods. Goose droppings create a mess on sidewalks and driveways, and at times the big birds can be aggressive.

The names and telephone numbers of Nuisance Wild-life Control Operators, and the counties in which they work, are posted on the Ken-tucky Fish and Wildlife’s Web site at www.fw.ky.gov.

Greenwave band welcomes new trailer in record timeBy Stephanie Meredith

MC Band Boosters

There are a lot of new and exciting things happening with the start of a new band season for the Meade County High School Band.

First, we have a new director, Mr. Chris Mc-Gee, who hails from Muhlenberg County. He is very excited about his first season with a band that has many generations of success and traditions.

Mr. Matthew Williams, in his fifth year at MCHS, will be continuing as his assistant. Next, several months ago we submitted an ar-ticle and pictures, about our new and exciting project.

On Sunday afternoon, July 18, it became a reality, as we debuted the completion of this project. If you were at the Meade County Fair Parade you were among the first people to see our new semi trailer with an upgraded tractor.

We are all so proud of this new addition and hope the community is proud as well.

It was a lot of hard work but, with the gener-ous donations from our area and beyond, we were able to complete this project in record time.

All contributors are listed on the back doors of the trailer. Finally, we would like to say thank you.

This would not have become a reality with-out your help.

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Student FBLA offi cers attend leadership development camp in Hardsinsburg

By Emerald HolleyFBLA Reporter

The Meade County High School Future Business Lead-ers of America (FBLA) chap-ter sent their nine offi cers to Leadership Development Camp in Hardinsburg, Ky.,June 9- 11.

The offi cers that attended the camp were, Ryan Barr, president; Jesse Adams and Avery Sydnor, vice presi-dents; Courtney McGraw, secretary; Savannah Allen, treasurer; Emerald Hol-ley, reporter; Cara Alsip, publicist; Avery Sydnor, region two president; Ash-

ley Sydnor, region two re-porter; and Andre Dowell,parliamentarian.

The camp was created to provide the offi cers infor-mation and training of how to become a better leader and learn their responsibili-ties of their offi ces.

The FBLA offi cers par-ticipated in many events such as recreational softball, basketball, volleyball, swim and track meets as well as many other sports for com-petitions that were reward-ed on the last day of camp.

Not only did these events let the offi cers have fun, but showed their teamwork,

communication skills, and their dedication.

The offi cers were sur-rounded by their fellow FBLA offi cers from other schools. Many of the Meade County High School FBLA offi cers were challenged to become the best in their classes with all their other classmates for the Outstand-ing Offi cers Award for their offi ce.

All of the events the of-fi cers participated in at the camp will help them later when the school yearbegins.

The offi cers were elected by fellow members of their

chapter. Throughout the year

the offi cers will work to-gether with the commu-nity, school, and different regions with conferences, competitions, and com-munity service. Some of the activities they will par-ticipate in are March of Dimes, Unite to Read, Fall, State, and National Lead-ership Conferences, Re-gional Competition, MARC Christmas Party and many more events as their year goes on.

They put their teamwork skills together to fi nish up a great year.

His daughters, Bobbie and Bev, and his granddaughter, Dottie, hosted the party at the East Fork Road home. Approximately 15 friends celebrated with Bill as old family, wartime, and hunting pictures and stories were shared at the party.

Bill and his brother, George, ran the Dowden’s Dairy for several years in Meade County. The 1974 tornado destruc-tion forced the dairy to close.

Here’s hoping that Bill will be celebrating many more birthdays.
